A Journey of Repentance
The Best Robe
Luke 15:13-24
The parable Jesus told, about the Prodigal Son is one of the most heart-touching stories in the Bible.
But you see, sin always takes you farther than you want to go, makes you stay longer than you intended to stay, and makes you pay more than you intended to pay.
The reason a lot of people slip back into sin is because they never hated their former life or their old sins.
The Prodigal son hit bottom: he was at the brink of death–and in fact, he “died out” to himself and all his old plans and desires. Then the new obedient son took control.
The Best Robe IS CHRIST’S PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS, given to us. Not only did Jesus suffer for our sins, He also lived a sinless life, which righteousness He willingly transfers to us!
Like these, the sound/sight that moves God the most is the sight and sound of a sinner repenting! The prodigal Father runs to that sound!
